    "Is it your goal to be No.1 female golfer in the world?" "Yeah...if that wasn't your goal, i dont know why you'd be in the sport."

    Good interview with Leona on radio 1 today. Comes across very confident and mature. Like how she said she wasnt obsessed with chasing length or power and wasn't aware she was No.1 on the lpga putting stats last year. Augurs very well.

    Up to jt 4th after 12 at-3. Going along nicely. It’d be great to see her contend for a major.

    Two off the lead playing the 18th, they've finally started covering her shots on the coverage too. Be great to see her contend at the weekend

    Birdied the last for a 67. Just one shot off the lead. Great stuff.

    Decent length interview after 1st round of ANA. She's been hitting the gym clearly!

    -12 for her last 3 rounds at Rancho Mirage. Seems to enjoy this course anyway. Due on tee at just before 4.30 irish time, hopefully get a decent bit of screen time today.

    -12 for the next 3 rounds would be great! Different ball game in contention for a major of course.

    Yeah, it's asking a lot for someone who hasn't any experience of contending for majors, but be great to see her in that position and looking comfortable.

    Looking at her season stats, i see she's a very decent 28th for GIR but only 59th for putting. Which is very encouraging i think as shows her game tee to green is solid while we know she can improve her putting as she was No.1 on the lpga last year.

    Great par save on 5. Would have been a downer to give lead up so quickly.

    Edit: was her 4th, followed by another solid par on 5th, playing back 9.

    Great par save on 17, her 8th hole. Par 5 up next so perhaps a chance for the solo lead

    Some great scrambling on her front 9. Only 4/8 for GIR but putter really saving her.

    It'd be nice if she could birdie the 18th, -2 on that back nine is a very good score.
    It's gonna be a nail biting weekend if she can stay in contention.

    Shame about the birdie putt but very acceptable outward 9 for her. Keeping it together very nicely.

    Dropped shot on her 10th. Missed fairway badly left and just missed par putt.

    Birdies relatively easy par 5 to get share of lead back. Beast of 3rd hole to negotiate now, hardest hole on the course today.

    Another dropped shot. Didn't show her first putt but obviously got pace wrong or misread, left herself 8 foot for par and missed.

    Good approach on 13th, maybe 12 foot for birdie. Moriya Jungutarn leading on -7.

    Didn't get birdie putt anyway. Flirting very dangerously with water on par 3 5th so very tricky up and down again.

    She did well with her second shot on the par 3 there, looked up against the collar of the rough, chipped it to a few feet

    Yeah, thought that was going to be very awkward but seemed she was able to get the club well under it. Another quality save. Jutanugarn now -8, bit of daylight to the chasing bunch.

    Ah damn it. Was well short off the tee it looked like. Was developing into a bit of a struggle, hopefully can limit the damage.

    Next shot left her off the green, 20 yards from pin or so and she chipped in for bogey!

    What an escape there

    But she has almost hoselled her last two approaches. Timing badly off. Saved big time with wedge play

    Looks completely like a symptom of tiredness
